ENTREPRENEURIAL LEADERSHIP@CLARKSON Spring 2023
Welcome to Our Entrepreneurial Leadership @ Clarkson Newsletter! t Clarkson, our small size is our advantage; our students benefit from personalized faculty mentoring, an entrepreneurial global mindset and new national and international networking opportunities for their startups and professional careers. That’s why our graduates and faculty continue to make a big impact across the globe. This issue of our newsletter highlights recent examples of exciting student startups that have benefitted from our faculty’s expertise and financial support from the Reh Center for Entrepreneurship. The Reh Center for Entrepreneurship provides a positive impact on our students and society by delivering practical and useful knowledge to help solve the world’s most complex problems and transform them into entrepreneurial opportunities. We also feature faculty-scholars who are distinguishing themselves in the classroom and through impactful research. Stories include: • PREPRK, an innovative student startup that is receiving funding and support from the Reh Center for Entrepreneurship to help the company founders diversify their investors portfolio to reach global markets. • MARC COMPEAU, Reh Family Professor of Entrepreneurship Practice, whose first-year course challenges students to develop their own businesses as soon as they step foot on campus. • Professor and Associate Dean BEBONCHU ATEMS, whose research into the impact of technology shocks on entrepreneurial job creation and destruction is helping to create a model to predict job losses and gains for different-sized companies. • Assistant Professor ROHAN CRICHTON is working on research with co-authors from the University of Strathclyde in Scotland UK “Uncovering the Responsible Leader in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Pathway to Accelerating the Green Hydrogen Economy.” I invite you to learn more about our educational approach, which seeks to develop graduates with an entrepreneurial mindset and a global perspective; about the influential research led by our faculty; and about our outsized influence in the world.
